Risk to Users: Unknown

Anomaly Status: Active

Anomaly #0009 is a game instance that is automatically processed and executed whenever a player joins a place connected to the ROBLOX Client or ROBLOX Studio. "#0009", upon being executed, is rendered as an opaque, sometimes sparkling, blue orb surrounding a player's character. It appears in a place's workspace as an object defined as "ForceField"

The internal properties of "#0009" are currently unknown, but upon analyzing the instance in ROBLOX Studio, it automatically connects itself to a player's character with the following string:

local forceField: ForceField = Instance.new("ForceField")

forceField.Parent = Players.[PlayerNameHere].Character

Due to inconclusive results on analyzing "#0009"'s internal properties, there are no definitive procedures for dealing with "#0009". Further study on it's behaviors should be conducted in a secure place instance with the monitoring of staff at the bare minimum.


AUGUST 9TH INCIDENT


Anomaly #0009 first became known to R.A. members following an incident reported in 2011. In July of the same year, ROBLOX had announced a new render for how the forcefield function would appear to players. At the time, this was seen as nothing more than a minor aesthetic change to gameplay. Following these changes a month later in August, an incident would be reported and logged to R.A. administration.

The following is the publicly disclosed file on the incident. For further information and resources relating to incidents involving Anomaly #0009, file a request to admin.

i tried to leave but more people joined the game that had my profile name and outfit too i think 50 or more people joined until my game crashed

when i tried joining agan the page changed and said my acount was terminated for endangerment


When interviewing the owner of the game, [Content Hidden], on the aforementioned user's ban, they provided the following statement:


i was waiting for [Content Hidden] to join up on me and i saw them ingame with me

but their player was stuttering all over the screen as they were following the spawn orb thing you get when spawning into the game

i tried asking them what was up but they never responded

when i went to message them, their account was termed despite still being in my game
